My sisters and I performing the Greek Week skit |
As the end of the school year approaches,
Sydney and I have been reflecting quite a bit on our freshman year. Both of us
agree that the time flew by and that it is not possible for us to be near
completing our first year of college. For me, I am amazed by how different my
life is now from what I thought it would be like when I started. I had a pretty
good idea of where I thought I would be; however where I am now is absolutely nothing
like what I thought. I swore that I would absolutely never join a sorority, but
I did. The sorority life is so much better than I expected, so I couldn’t
really pass it up. All of the girls are sweet and down to earth, and there is
no hazing of any sort in Theta Phi. I also never thought that I would become an
RA, but look at me now! I have signed a contract, created an entire Pinterest
board dedicated to door decorations and programs, and I will be back on campus
on August first to begin training as a professional mom for college freshman. I
also didn’t think that I could be a tutor my freshman year, but I am sitting in
the learning center now waiting for my next student to show up for their
appointment. Crazy.
This year has flown by incredibly fast, but so
much has happened. It does not seem like it is all possible; I have learned too
much in my classes and about myself for such a short period of time. Not to
mention, the wonderful friendships that have formed that I hope I will still
have in three years when I am preparing for graduation. I always believed
adults when they said that college can be the most amazing time of your life,
but now I actually understand what they meant. You never stop learning, there
are numerous opportunities at every turn, and it is so easy to meet people and
make friends. It has been a blast so far and I cannot wait to be back in the fall.
